Extraction Method: Steam Distilled 

Main Constituents:

Santalol: 91.9%

Description: Sandalwood is an evergreen, parasitic tree that burrows its roots into other trees and it can grow up to 9 meters (30 feet) high and has a brown-gray trunk, many smooth slender branches, leathery leaves and small pink-purple flowers. It can take thirty to sixty years for a tree to reach full maturity. That is when it can be harvested and distilled.

Common Uses: Sandalwood East Indian Essential Oil is used by aroma therapists to combat bronchitis, chapped and dry skin, depression, laryngitis, leucorrhea, oily skin, scars, sensitive skin, stress, and stretch marks. It also has historical applications as an aid in meditation for religious ceremonies. Sandalwood East Indian is believed to create an exotic, sensual mood with a reputation as an aphrodisiac. It also has extensive uses in the perfume industry as a fixative, and use in body care products for the fragrance it provides.

Aroma Scent: The fragrance of Indian sandalwood essential oil is an exquisite blend of depth and serenity, embodying a harmonious balance of natural elements. At its core, it exudes a rich, creamy woodiness, smooth and velvety, reminiscent of polished hardwood with a luxurious, almost milky softness. This warm, earthy base is underpinned by a subtle sweetness, evoking the gentle, resinous whisper of aged timber, yet never overpowering.

A delicate balsamic undertone weaves through the scent, adding a resinous, slightly medicinal depth that enhances its complexity. The aroma unfolds gracefully, beginning with a soft, inviting warmth that gradually deepens into a resonant, grounding base. Unlike sharper woody scents like cedar, Indian sandalwood is distinguished by its rounded, buttery quality, creating an aura of calm and introspection.

Emotionally, it evokes tranquility and timelessness, often linked to meditative practices and spiritual rituals in its native context. Its longevity is remarkable, lingering on the senses with a quiet persistence that feels both exotic and intimately familiar. This scent is not merely olfactory—it is an experience of quiet luxury, a bridge between the earthly and the ethereal.
